Description Suzanne Hillman 2008-12-11 19:47:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
If you enable NTP and add in a server (eg clock.corp.redhat.com), trying to continue will have an absurd amount of time pass until you cancel and try again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firstboot-1.4.27.7-1.el5

How reproducible:
Always, as far as I can tell.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Firstboot, ask it to use NTP.
2. Add a server, that of 'clock.corp.redhat.com'
3. Enter Alt-F to go 'Forward'
  
Actual results:
Need to hit 'Cancel' as it seems to fail to actually manage to talk to it the first time, or somethign else is going on.

Expected results:
Should just work.

Additional info:
No clue if this is a regression, I only knew about clock.corp.redhat.com recently

Is this still happening?

Thanks & regards, Phil
